Lars Frederiksen is a busy man, besides his work with Rancid, his other projects and production/label work, he found time to record the new record with his The Old Firm Casuals scheduled to come out via Demons Run Amok Entertainment and Pirates Press Records. I listened and reviewed the new record for our zine.
The title of the record is a name of the resistance group who fought the Nazis in occupied Denmark during World War Two. It is personal, as Lars says, dedication to his uncle Viggo who fought the Nazis there. This new record contains 12 songs and is very varied that makes it awesome. There are faster, more straight forward hardcore punk songs like Traitor and Overdose On Sin, Get Out Of Our Way being my favorite faster song on the record. There are almost metalic parts of the song structures like I heard in Thunderbolt. There are weird short instrumentals meaning The Golden Fall pt 1. Of course, the record wouldn˙t be it without the trademark punkrock anthems like Nation On Fire or Zombies which has awesome vocal line melodies, powerful riffs and is for me one of the best songs on the album. Motherland was the single for making a video but in my opinion there are better songs on the album, but I love the pagan themed lyrics in this one. Not to discover just everything, you will have to get this album and listen to it yourself. It is a fine piece of streetpunk hardcore.

Brutal Assault 2019.is already 24th edition of one of the best extreme music festivals in Europe and also in the world. Today they added more bands to the already awesome bill with line-up having something to make everyone`s ears bleed with joy.
Blasting out of Byron Bay, almost as an affront to the serenity of their surrounds, PARKWAY DRIVE quickly established themselves as the most formidable force Australian heavy music had ever seen. A five- piece of astonishing power and understated charisma, PARKWAY DRIVE created unseen hysteria and are coming back to claim their festival-anthem crown.
How do you move from a band as pivotal as The Dillinger Escape Plan? For Liam Wilson, it meant ripping up the rulebook all over again. AZUSA make captivating music with unconventional nerve. Uniting the complementary skills of its members, their sound is a thrash-fusion tour de force. Defying expectations by embracing contradiction, AZUSA finds strength in vulnerability, harmony in dissonance and melody in discord.
The only pure metal attack in this update is a bunch of seasoned veterans with a long list of seminal acts in their CVs, coming to dominate BA with their relentless black metal project NORDJEVEL. Get ready for blast-fire annihilation propelled by one of the most insane drummers in the metal scene.
Norwegian-American electro metal project COMBICHRIST mark the return of ultimate genre merger with their infernal, yet extremely addictive sonic lunacy. Known by many as the Rammstein support that overshadowed Rammstein, COMBICHRIST led by Andy LaPlegua moves huge masses with its strange industrial metal sound that is uniquely even in the ‚aggrotech‘ scene.
Remaining within the ranks of metal-and-techno-fusion bands here comes VIOLENT MAGIC ORCHESTRA, an art project of complete harmony of techno, black metal, industrial, noise and emit light. Imagine black metal meets Kraftwerk.
Resonating with all the senses, CASPIAN are for fifteen years a solid and unshakable name in the post-rock scene and one of the best live acts from the genre. You can look forward for a show, which will bring welcomed relax during restless times on Brutal Assault.
Thunder rolls afar, unremitting rain, awaited gloomy deliverance gets under your skin. Sudden storm of unleashed instruments then quietness, absolute serenity. At the gates of hell or heaven depending on the listener’s philosophy. Cleverly mixing some kind of modern & ambient Black-Metal with Post-Hardcore tones, DÉLUGE does what has to be done whether you want it or not.
Music is mainly about fun and the Nordic mage Leo Moracchiolo is gonna bring fun factor to BA with his studio-project-transformed-into-band known on Youtube as FROG LEAP.
Final band to this update comes from the fertile grounds of Copenhagen’s underground; HEXIS combine black metal with hardcore and post-metal elements for almost ten years now.
